So, this rotor is still good right? Opening up the fins creates a fanning effect and it keeps your brakes cool. 😂
in all seriousness, this was the rear rotor on my brother-in-law’s 2005 3/4t 2wd Chevy. It was the original rotor (still had the metal clips on the studs) and most likely the original pads. He doesn’t do mechanical stuff so he brings it to me. 210k on the truck. Tell me again how effective safety inspections were? You know, how they prevented people from driving until this happened? I know he probably needed brakes when he lived in Lehi a few years back. I know had anyone done a real inspection on the truck they would have been changed years ago. And what about those 34 point inspections at the tire shops? Clearly you just can’t trust others.
The socket was a brand new Lisle Tools T-55. Got done with the passenger side and snapped it off on the first bolt on the driver side. 3/8” breaker bar is all I was using. Had to go find another one. Ended up buying a set of craftsman that the T-55 was 1/2” drive. Those bolts sure were tight!
